Hablamos Juntos: Un Diálogo Visual /Together We Speak: A Visual Dialog Curated by Juan Fuentes and Michelle Mouton, Hablamos Juntos explores visual dialogs created by prominent California Latinx artists. In this extraordinarily rich exhibit, you will experience how our artists give voice to and navigate: daily life, current events, social, political and cultural issues, community, ethnicity, as well as personal narratives, myths, and history. PreTrip Discussion Items: What does Latinx mean? Latinx is a genderneutral term that refers to Latino/a people. Who are Latino/a/x people, where do they come from? The United States Census uses Latino to refer to "a person of Dominican, Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race". Hispanic: “Hispanic is basically based on whether you or your family speak the language of Spanish whereas Latino is focusing more on geographic location, that being Latin America,” Kat Lazo. Per the U.S. Census: “Hispanic origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors before arriving in the United States. People who identify as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be any race.” Chicano: The term Chicano/a is normally used to refer to someone born in the United States to Mexican parents or grandparents and is considered by many as a synonym of Mexican American. The term came into wider usage in the 1960’s. Wikipedia: “The Chicano Movement of the 1960s, also called the Chicano civil rights movement or El Movimiento, was a civil rights movement extending the MexicanAmerican civil rights movement of the 1960s with the stated goal of achieving Mexican American empowerment.” What is the history of Latino/a/x people in America? See Timeline What is the impact of immigration law on Latino/a/x people?
